TL;DR
Most travelers recommend buying and activating your eSIM before departure — on arrival in Nha Trang you may not have internet right away to activate it, so it's easier to switch it on right after landing.
One practical approach is to buy an eSIM through a dedicated app before the trip and switch it on right after landing in Nha Trang, avoiding pricey roaming or hunting for a SIM at the airport.
You can activate the eSIM on the spot in Nha Trang, but that requires internet access (e.g. airport Wi-Fi), so it's more reliable to activate it in advance before departure.
Some travelers don't research plans in advance and plan to activate their eSIM right at Nha Trang airport on arrival, figuring that having internet access is the main thing that matters.
